Ah since when is grinding feed overloading a engine ?????? I can put my S/MTA on the New Holland 355 and grind a batch or the 706 or the 806 or the 1066 and we have even ground with the S/H when nothing else would start at 35 below . When our problem started was a load of 87 octane gas on a thiry plus hour NEW engine and she was plowing with a light set of 540 4x16' not 710's or 720 . That tractor ran like a swiss watch for six years till i sold Eugene a 1066 and the 706 got semi retired from tillage work . Myself i do not remember how many 706's that i have bought and farmed with and ok so i am a nut case i have always run the top grade gas back when it was two or three cents a gallon more , so now it is twenty cents a gallon more , so we pay twenty bucks more per 100 gallon BIG deal . If that twenty bucks more per 100 gallon we pay it will take 1200 gallon savings to cover the cost of the head set the rings for ONE piston and the gskt. Oh and that is at my cost your cost will be slightly higher . also you say overloading with a five bottom plow they were rated for 5x16's BUt most had enough sense to run 4 and i have had a couple with the 291 that you could run 1st high all day long with 4x16's at 10 inches. and with duals on they would pull a 16 foot wing disc just fine in 1st high on the first pass and you could jump to high2 on the next round . The other point that a lot of you are missing also is just how may times has that head been milled , i have never pulled a head off any 460-856 that did not need at least .007 taken off and sometimes 15 -18 . So say it has been milled three times since new and each time they milled off 12 times three that is .036 off making it HIGHER COMPRESSION . On my buddy's this makes for the fifth time i have had the head off and it has been milled three times now with a total of .033 off it . And god only knows how much was taken off before .

Today's Featured Article - On the Road with Dave Gohl: Tractors and Farming - by Dave Gohl. I never thought I'd live to see the day, when I could call myself a farmer. What allows me to say this? Well, when our family moved to our 20 acre site near New Prague, Minnesota, I had one thought in mind. You guessed it, farm it somehow. A little history is in order. In my younger days, mom, dad and my brother made frequent visits to dad's youngest brother Pete, who took over the home farm from grandpa MIke. It was the typical set-up, milk cows, pigs & chickens. In the winter, we'd play
